Why Making A Will Matters
Many people put off making a will, but having one in place ensures your wishes are followed and your assets are passed on the way you intend. Without a valid will, the law decides how your estate is divided which may not reflect your wishes or your family’s needs.
By working with our experienced wills and probate solicitors in Dublin, you can:
- Decide exactly how your property, savings and possessions are divided.
- Appoint guardians for your children.
- Minimise inheritance tax liabilities where possible.
- Prevent unnecessary stress or disputes for your family.
We keep the process simple and clear, by taking the time to understand your circumstances, we can draft a will that is valid, easy to follow and specifically to your needs.
Our Wills & Probate team is here to help you with any questions.

Probate & Estate Administration
Losing a loved one is never easy and dealing with their estate can feel overwhelming. Probate is the legal process of proving a will and authorising an executor to administer the estate. If there is no will, the estate must be distributed under the rules of intestacy, which can make matters much more complex.
Our probate solicitors assist executors, administrators and families with every aspect of estate administration, including:
- Applying for a Grant of Probate or Grant of Administration.
- Identifying and valuing assets.
- Settling debts and taxes.
- Distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
- Advising on disputes or challenges to a will.
We provide step by step guidance, ensuring that the process is handled efficiently and with sensitivity to the circumstances.
'No Win, No Fee' Medical Misdiagnosis Claims Explained
Under Irish law, solicitors are not allowed to advertise ‘No Win, No Fee’ services. However, we can discuss all available funding options with you during your initial consultation. Learn more in our article No ‘Win No Fee’ Agreements in Ireland - Explained.
Disputed Wills & Contentious Probate
Unfortunately disputes can sometimes happen following a death. A will may be challenged if there are concerns about issues such as undue influence, mental capacity or how the document was prepared. Disagreements can also occur between beneficiaries over the way an estate is being administered.
Our solicitors have experience in handling these sensitive matters. We aim to resolve disputes wherever possible through constructive negotiation, but we are also prepared to take firm action through litigation when required.
Throughout the process, we combine professionalism with empathy, always working towards a fair and positive resolution for our clients.
